Interordinal mammalian relationships: evidence for paenungulate monophyly is provided by complete mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequences.
Molec. Phylogenetics & Evol. 6(2): 245-258. Oct. 1996.
–The most strongly supported clade among mammalian orders was found to be the Paenungulata (Sirenia + Proboscidea + Hyracoidea); the Tethytheria (Sirenia + Proboscidea) grouping was also observed but less stably supported. This may be due to a short elapsed time between the divergences of hyracoids and tethytheres. Paenungulates are estimated to have originated at the end of the Cretaceous.
